Patina (2) (Track)

The sequel to National Book Award Finalist Ghost and a New York Times bestseller

A newbie to the track team, Patina must learn to rely on her teammates as she tries to outrun her personal demons in this follow-up to the National Book Award finalist Ghost by New York Times bestselling author Jason Reynolds.

Ghost. Lu. Patina. Sunny. Four kids from wildly different backgrounds with personalities that are explosive when they clash. But they are also four kids chosen for an elite middle school track teamâ€”a team that could qualify them for the Junior Olympics if they can get their acts together. They all have a lot to lose, but they also have a lot to prove, not only to each other, but to themselves.

Patina, or Patty, runs like a flash. She runs for many reasonsâ€”to escape the taunts from the kids at the fancy-schmancy new school sheâ€™s been sent to ever since she and her little sister had to stop living with their mom. She runs from the reason WHY sheâ€™s not able to live with her â€œrealâ€ mom any more: her mom has The Sugar, and Patty is terrified that the disease that took her momâ€™s legs will one day take her away forever. And so Pattyâ€™s also running for her mom, who canâ€™t. But can you ever really run away from any of this? As the stress builds, itâ€™s building up a pretty bad attitude as well. Coach wonâ€™t tolerate bad attitude. No day, no way. And now he wants Patty to run relayâ€¦where you have to depend on other people? Howâ€™s she going to do THAT?
